High Current 12 VDC Power Connection Instructions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
  1. High Current 2 AWG conductors connect the Seakeeper<\/span> to the DC source are supplied as length 13ft (4 m). Approximately 3 ft (1 m) is routed inside the Seakeeper<\/span> frame.<\/li>
  2. Conductor length may be increased, but changing from 2 AWG to larger wire size does not allow longer length than 30 ft (9 m) each.<\/span> The length limit is required to limit the inductance from the high current conductors.<\/li>
  3. Use the shortest length and most direct route to the battery bank as possible.<\/li>
  4. Bind plus (B+, red) & minus (B-, black) conductors together throughout entire length and do not coil.<\/li>
  5. Connect plus conductor (B+, red) through dedicated over-current protection device (customer supplied) and a dedicated isolation switch (customer supplied) then directly to battery plus terminal.<\/li>
  6. Connect minus conductor (B-, black) directly to battery minus terminal.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    1. If the 2 AWG high current 12 V power input conductors are shortened or lengthened, use heavy-duty eyelet (closed end) terminal such as Molex 19221-0235 and follow instructions on Seakeeper<\/span> Drawing No. 90470 \u2013 Seakeeper<\/span> 2 Cable Block Diagram, sheet 2.<\/li>
    2. The bare wire strands should extend fully into the barrel of the heavy-duty eyelet and be crimped in two places if possible then sealed with double-wall heat shrink tubing. Crimp heavy-duty terminals with Quick Cable 4245 Crimp Tool, Molex 19284-0034 Crimp Tool, or equivalent using manufacturer’s instructions.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
